I never thought I’d be the type to geek out over plants, but here I am, wandering through my boyfriend’s mom’s garden and snapping pics like it’s a celebrity sighting. She’s got this wild mix of colors and scents, and somehow, everything just works together. She let me help with watering, and I learned that doing it early in the evening keeps the leaves from burning. I also noticed she plants marigolds everywhere—turns out, they keep bugs away without any fancy sprays. I left with dirt under my nails and a huge smile. Turns out, a little time in the garden can totally boost your mood. Now I’m plotting out my own tiny patch at home. #gardeningjoy #planttips #naturetherapy #happygardener #Gardening
